I have been working at this volunteer group since I  was 18.  I draw paintings on the wall of welfare center. I am proud of this volunteer work because I can help someone by doing something I really enjoy. Also, I could realize the power of painting through this volunteer work. Many senior citizens who live in a welfare facility found their smile while they were watching the wall painting.

While I was doing wall painting, I  recognized the blind couldn’t watch paintings by meeting with an old man who couldn’t see my painting on the wall. Therefore I decided to do the activity that can be a help for the blind. so I started a book typing volunteer work for the blind as well.

This design include many sorts of variation of Flat Pattern Design.

I made this dress only by using flat patterns.

Sleeve is a variation of Laglan Sleeve. I designed it as a one-shoulder to express faminine sensibility.

I also apply concept of torso.  Therefore there is no cutting line on the waistline. By eliminating waisline and make it to be connected, the waistline looks more smooth.

To make a skirt part, I use circular skirt pattern to express full flowing skirt.

I try to emphasize the romantic image with skirt.

As the details, Tuck  is on the center fo the body and I also designed three triangular shapes which are gradually getting bigger, and darker downward.

Colored Pencil

Colored pencil is one of the typical tool to draw fashion illustration

This tool has merit of describing detailed parts.

Therefore colored pencil is used partly to decribe delicate part of the clothes such as patterns or small details.

And if you use colored pencil overall, it’s effective to make soft mood.

It takes very long time to complete a work with this tool.

It’s hard to color vividly so we should keep overwrap many colors to draw more realistic picture.

<1>

Picture <1> is good example of using colored pencil to decirbe the meterial’s feature in detail.

I select colored pencil to draw the pointy part of the fur meterial.

By using sharp colored pencils, I could draw realistic picture.

<2>

Picture <2> is an example of design main point by drawing patterns.

As you can see in this picture, stripe and check pattern is most important point of this style.

So I decribed it with colored pencil to draw delicate pattern.
